Throwing this out here for everyone who is out protesting for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and David Mcatee and every other victim of the systematic racism.Â
CNBC has created a page of tips, complied by doctors actively dealing with the pandemic, to help avoid getting COVID-19 while out protesting.
Here’s the link: X (working as of 02/06/2020)
I’ll create a summary for if the link stops working below:
1. The normal rules apply:
avoid touching people unnecessarily (i know this is hard)
use hand sanitiser after touching people/objects, especially microphones if they have been used by other people
do not touch your eyes, nose and mouth if at all possible, or clean your hands if you need to
2. Try and use a buddy system, with a few other people, who you can stick close to, while trying to maintain social distancing, where possible
3. Try not to travel too far to get to protests. I know, you want to protest, but by travelling for hours in the car there is risk of taking the virus to the area of the protest or back to your homes.
I know I probably haven’t said this very well, read the link if you want more information, with the sources.
Good luck, stay safe.
